Did I say "thing" enough times do you think?

Yeah it's still pretty big with the group that liked it previously. I like very little deathcore but there are a few enjoyable acts out there. I actually just got to see Whitechapel live and they were great. The vocalist had more endurance than anyone I've ever seen. At one point he held out a growl for a solid 15 seconds directly after a full verse. Lots of energy in that show from all members.
The current trend now in "metal" is post-hardcore bull****. Not the good post-hardcore stuff like Touche Amore (they are like Isis is to metal) but rather the ****ty emo crabcore groups.
Attack Attack, I See Stars, Abandon All Ships...the kind of bands that make all the girls wet at Warped Tour (and some of the weaker boys)
